Lord's
Of the many cricket venues in the world. Lord's is not only the most famous, but also the one with the greatest historical importance. As the home of the MCC, Lord's is still considered to be the headquarters of cricket. The ground is also the (controversial) home of the famous Ashes urn, which is housed in the Museum. Lord's: The Cathedral of Cricket, charts the history of the ground from its foundation by Thomas Lord in 1787 through to the twenty-first century stadium with its state-of-the-art media centre.

Exciting matches and great events have been a permanent feature of the ever-developing ground, which is brought to life in this remarkable new book by former museum curator and MCC librarian of more than thirty-five years, Stephen Green.

Also included are Dan 'The Liberator,' who fought a battle with his love rival at Harcourt Fields, the champion archer Celia Betham, and Bridget Hitler, sister-in-law of Adolf.
